Nuts and nut butters

If you want to put on weight, nuts and nut butter are excellent selections. The nutritional value of only one small handful (or 1/4 cup) of raw almonds is 170 calories, 6 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and 15 grams of healthy fats.

Just two handfuls of nuts each day with a meal or as a snack can quickly add hundreds of calories due to their high-calorie content. Smoothies, yogurt, and crackers are some of the examples of foods that may be quickly turned into high-calorie snacks by adding nut butter. Try peanut butter banana smoothie for a quick healthy drink (270 calories, using whole milk). If you're allergic to peanuts, use another nut butter instead. However, be sure to choose nut butter made entirely of nuts and devoid of additional sugar or oils. Or, even better, use this homemade almond butter recipe to make your own. It's simple to make and cheap to buy.
